"Asus has just announced the cure for the common 20-something-inch 1080p display: a small TV-sized 31.5-inch monitor with a massive resolution of 3840x2160. Engadget reports that the Asus PQ321 display, which uses IGZO technology to reduce energy usage and thickness, includes DisplayPort and dual-HDMI input, integrated speakers, and an adjustable stand." The dread of 1366 and 1080p is being removed. Finally.

Most low-end laptops came with 1024x768. Even Apple's iBooks were 1024x768 till the bitter end. More expensive models had a great variety, I'll give you that. As for the 30" Apple Cinema, it's not nearly unique, and wasn't then either. Dell had a 30", HP had one, LG had one. They still do.
